I'd been hearing good things about Wittlebee, the monthly subscription service for kids' clothing, and so when a deal for a two-month subscription showed up on Plum District I decided to give it a try. I filled out a style profile for Finn, specifying what colors, styles, and items I preferred. Our box arrived quickly afterwards.

We received eight items (new orders placed after July 1st will apparently only receive six). Our box included five shirts, two pairs of shorts, and a pair of skinny jeans! Overall I'm really happy with what we got!

This Kenneth Cole Reaction shirt is probably my favorite. I also love the Calvin Klein jeans- they are a faded gray wash.

I also really love the other two pairs of shorts we received- one khaki pair with little bicycles printed on them by Gioberti, and one black pair with white stitching by Kenneth Cole Reaction.

We received two great American Apparel t-shirts- plain- in yellow and light blue, and an appliquéd green shirt by Gioberti. Normally I'm not a fan of kids clothes with words on them, but I like the little bulldozer appliqué enough that I'll let this one slide.

Our last shirt, also from Gioberti is a blue polo with a bike on it. Again I'm okay with the "surf club" emblazoned across the front because I like the bright colors and cut of the shirt, but I have updated Finn's "style profile" on Wittlebee to specify no more clothes with words on them (and also no camo please!). I also chose the new option of being open to receiving pajamas and accessories.

For what we paid for this box with the Plum District deal and a coupon I had, we most definitely got our money's worth. I'll admit that I also love the fun of getting a surprise-filled box in the mail and being exposed to brands I'm not familiar with, so that's definitely part of the appeal for me.

If you'd like to give Wittlebee a try, my referral link here will give you $10 off. I'd definitely recommend ordering before July 1st so you receive an 8 (rather than 6) item box.
